Chapter 283: Shooting 3/3
The people Fa Zheng is talking about are all teenagers and young adults in their teens and twenties. In history, after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others first beat away Lu Bu, and then killed Fan Chou and drove Zhang Ji away, and the two attacked each other. Natural disasters and man-made disasters in the Guanzhong area came together, and only a fraction of the original more than 300,000 households died.
The people of Guanzhong either fled to Hanzhong or to Jingzhou, and those who fled to Hanzhong were absorbed by Liu Yan and formed a group called the "Dongzhou Bing". The Dongzhou soldiers were brave and good at fighting, and participated in Liu Yan's suppression of the local heroes and scholars in Yizhou. After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne and gradually alienated the Dongzhou military group, and then these people united with those in Shu who were dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's father and son, and welcomed Liu Bei into Shu.
Among them, Fa Zheng became Liu Bei's military advisor, Meng Da became Liu Bei's general, and others were also hired, and for a time Dongzhou soldiers were in the limelight. These people actively participated in the political and military activities of Liu Bei's group, and were extremely eager to return to their hometown. It's a pity that Fa Zheng, who won Liu Bei's trust, died of illness at the age of forty-five.
When Liu Bei heard that Fa Zheng was dead, he wept bitterly for several days and posthumously awarded him the title of "Yihou". On the day Liu Bei was alive, there was only such a person in the Shuhan Group who had been nicknamed.
Chen Cheng wrote down the people Fa Zheng said, and then said: "Now that Dong Zhuo is approaching Chang'an, I will be busy with military affairs first, and then I will discuss with you in detail later." ”
After that, he took the guards and soldiers to live in Weiyang Palace. Weiyang Palace was expanded on the basis of the Qin Dynasty after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, and was once the center of political power and the symbol of the state. It stands to reason that living here is a bit disrespectful. But Lu Bu had already trampled on all the etiquette, and now that Chen Cheng led his troops into Weiyang Palace, no one even felt that there was anything wrong.
In the past few years, Guanzhong was first conscripted by He Jin and conscripted for food, which caused the people's livelihood to wither. Recently, there was the Lu Bu Rebellion, and the land that had always been peaceful was full of smoke, not only the people suffered, but also died under the sword soldiers, and there were not a few scholars, and officials. There has long been a desperate desire for someone to step up and put an end to this turbulent situation.
Although it is Xiliang people who are coming now, the big guy is a little dissatisfied. But Xiliangjun looked at the military discipline and was not as barbaric as rumored, so everyone pinched their noses and recognized it. However, there are many people who have seen Lu Bu who is following the process. The expression on his face was stunned at first, then turned to disgust.
Lu Bu looked at these in his eyes, and secretly hated in his heart: Guanzhong people are the most treacherous! is either deceiving people or poisoning, these officials are also hateful, I can't kill these repeated people as soon as possible!
The next morning, Zhao Yun came to report that the soldiers had secretly fled last night, and some people had run out of the barracks and looted the palace and people outside the city, asking what to do. Chen Cheng got up early in the morning and heard this kind of news, and couldn't help but feel bad, and asked: "Didn't you tell them that as long as Guanzhong is pacified, you will let them go home?" ”
"I've said it all."
"Hmph, since I said it, then I can deal with it as it should be," Chen Cheng asked, "According to military law, what should I do?" ”
Zhao Yun replied: "Wartime fugitives, behead!" accepted his parents, wives and children, and did not enter the government. Whoever plunders the people, behead! Collect its ........."
Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "The human head is not a leek, and it won't grow if it's cut." Bring them over first, and I'll ask. ”
So, after he finished breakfast first, he walked out, and on the square in front of Weiyang Palace, more than a thousand people were already kneeling in the dark. Chen Cheng walked out of the main hall, looked down, and said in surprise: "There are so many people? ”
Zhao Yun said with a serious expression: "The soldiers involved have all been arrested, and more than 100 people were killed on the spot when they were arrested!" ”
Chen Cheng pondered for a while and said, "We just entered the customs, and it's not good to kill so many people at once, right?" ”
Before Zhao Yun could answer, Chen Cheng said again: "Now there are few Han people in the world, so don't kill if you can." The fugitives were sent to the Western Regions, and those who plundered the people were dealt with in the same way as long as there was no blood on their hands. ”
Zhao Yun asked: "Then if you burn and kill the people and humiliate the people, how should you deal with it?" ”
"Hmph, this kind of person is naturally all hanged, hung on both sides of the road, displayed to the public for three days, and then dug a pit and buried together."
Zhao Yun took two steps back, bowed his head and arched his hand, and responded loudly: "No!" ”
Chen Cheng shook his head, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun's arm, and said, "When Zilong and I intersected at the end of Weimo, we took care of each other. If it were before all the people, it would be enough. It's just you and me, so why bother? ”
Zhao Yun laughed and said, "Since Wen Zheng said so, then I will be presumptuous!" ”
"Well, have you had breakfast? I have porridge and cakes here, would you like to eat some? ”
"I've already eaten it in the army," Zhao Yun said with a smile, "I'll go and prepare the gallows........ Well, are you going to hang the rebels here? ”
"Put them in residential areas to let everyone know that although we don't like to kill, we are not afraid to kill. After finishing it, I copied a few more chapters of the three chapters of the covenant between Emperor Gaozu and the people of Guanzhong, and pasted them everywhere. ”
"No!"
With Zhao Yun's order, the wolf-like Xiliang army rushed into the crowd of kneeling on the ground, dragged dozens of people out, and then escorted them to the residential area in the north of the city. The rest of the people were each whipped with ten lashes, and then pressed by the soldiers to go to Xiliang, and then they would continue to go west until the distant Western Regions Changshi Mansion was finished.
In the current Liangzhou, there are only two kinds of death sentences: hanging, and there are only two other kinds of flogging and spine canes, and all other punishments are abolished. If a capital offense is committed, it is generally possible to pay for the exoneration. If they are not exempt from crime, or if they have no money, those with high status will be beheaded, and those with low status will be hanged.
Now those rebels have no one to help them pay to atone for their crimes, so naturally they can't travel to the Western Regions with them, so they can only be hung on the high gallows.
It should be said that it is human nature to watch the excitement at any time and wherever it is, and when the two high gallows were erected in the center of the street, many people gathered around and asked what they were for. After hearing that it was going to kill someone, many people exclaimed.
By the time the dozens of rebels were escorted over, the place was already surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Zhao Yun transferred a thousand soldiers and horses to maintain order, and only then did he clear the field. The military judge stood on the high platform and said loudly what kind of law these people had violated and why they wanted to kill them, and then simply said neatly: "Bring them up!" ”
The rebels who were escorted up wept and cried: "Spare your life, spare your life!" We were also confused for a while, so we killed people, and we won't dare in the future! ”
The expressionless tooth soldier put the rope on the head of the rebel, and after all four were set, the military judge gave an order, and the wooden plank on the high platform suddenly turned over, and several rebels fell down from the ground. This was followed by a crisp "click" sound, and under the combined action of gravity and ropes, the necks of the four people were immediately broken, and the fresh lives suddenly turned into corpses.
In the surrounding crowd, there was a burst of exclamations, and then another burst of applause. Although many of these rebels are Guanzhong people, it is also Guanzhong people who are harming. The local people hated them to the core, and when they saw these scum dead, they applauded. Those whose relatives were killed in the family were even more excited to rush to the side of the gallows, but they were pulled back with guns by the Xiliang soldiers who maintained order.
In the attic of a palace not far away, Chen Cheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw soldiers beating the people. When Wei Ran saw it, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't I send someone to talk to them?" Let those soldiers be nicer to the people? ”
Chen Cheng turned his head and glanced at Wei Ran, and then asked Liu Qian, who also came over to watch the execution, "Do you want to send someone to talk about it?" ”
Liu Qian sneered and said, "No need!" ”
Chen Cheng then said to Wei Ran: "Did you hear the princess's words?" ”
Wei Ran said with some embarrassment: "I heard it." ”
The efficiency of the gallows is not as good as that of beheading, but the speed of killing is not slow. Soon, dozens of rebels were hanged, and then transported outside the city by carts and hung on both sides of the road. The onlookers were still unsatisfied, talking loudly, talking about what had just happened.
Murder is not uncommon, and Lu Bu cut off the heads of an unknown number of officials in Chang'an. But this method of hanging people is rarely seen by locals. After the crowd had almost dispersed, the military judge took the soldiers and pasted the notices in various places in Chang'an.
The words on the notice were very short, only a few lines, and it read: "Liangzhou Mu, Hussar General, Julu Marquis Chen Cheng said: Now in the customs, I have a covenant with my father: the murderer is dead, the wounded are injured and the theft is punished!" ”
"Chapter 3?"
The officials and scholars in the city, Haoqiang and others secretly laughed after seeing them. Lu Bu is crowned by a monkey in their eyes, and Chen Cheng is not much better in their eyes, but he is another person who does not know how many catties and taels he has when he is strong and strong. However, there are also many people who are thoughtful after reading the notice.
Soon, when Chen Cheng was still preparing to dispatch troops to meet Dong Zhuojun, who was coming along Weishui, many people jointly played a concert, recounting Lu Bu's crimes in Guanzhong and demanding that he be executed.
"Tsk," Liu Qian is now an intern in the guards, usually follows Chen Cheng's side, and will also help deal with some paperwork, at this time, when he saw the concerto, he said with disdain: "These people saw that Lu Bu was defeated, so they all jumped out, why didn't they come out to talk before?" ”
A person sitting next to him suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Princess be cautious! Tens of thousands of Guanzhong's children died against Lu Bu, including more than 20 ministers and generals, how can it be said that no one came out to speak? ”
Liu Qian looked to the side angrily and said angrily: "Fa Xiaozhi, you dare to talk like this? Who gave you this guts! ”
It turned out that it was none other than the person who started this case, it was the law and the law. Although Fa Zheng was only in his teens, he was very familiar with the geography of Guanzhong, and more importantly, Chen Cheng had a good impression of him, so he summoned him to his side. Hearing Liu Qian's words of contempt for the people in Guanzhong, he couldn't help but get angry.
